I did not realize that but you makre a very good point Jumpin. The Wii gets chastised for its 'gimmicks'; in the Wii's case the word gimmick had a negative connotation, like it was being used to trick customers into buying a product that really had no substance upon further investigation. However that could not be any farther from the truth! What was the Gamecube's main draw, what was the hook to bring customers in? Nothing. It did not revolutionize graphics, or methods of gameplay control. As a result of no new interface or control, it was just a PS2 with none of the 3rd party support. Also, it was handicapped by no DVD playback and limited space minidisks. There was no gimmick. Granted I loved the Gamecube, but that was because of the following titles: SSB Melee (fighting kids in the neighborhood) Wrestlemania X8,X9, Day of Reckoning 1 & 2, Def Jam Vendetta & Fight for NY, Fire Emblem POR, Resident Evil Remake. ????? |
Microsoft and Sony didn't rely on gimmicks to get the sales they initially attained. I loved the Gamecube even with its handful of great titles.
